The M4 Armatus Electric Blow Back from APS is a beautifully crafted airsoft rifle which is constructed from metal and high quality polymer. Even at a glace you can tell that the Armatus is not your typical M4 as it is equipped with many external features you would not even find on guns for more than twice its cost.

It has been fitted with a 11 inch, free floating CQB length barrel which replicates a stainless steel bull barrel that you would find on a competition grade assault rifle. Surrounding the barrel is a CNC machined 6.25” aluminum quad rail system which interfaces seamlessly with the rifles flat top mounting deck which gives you plenty of room for a foregrip, flashlight, dot sight and practically any other accessory you would want to mount to your rifle.

Another notable external feature of the rifle is the blow back system which gives the Armatus a little more realism when compared to some other AEGs. Squeeze off a round and the mock bolt cycles back while sending a satisfying jolt into your shoulder.

On the firing line the APS M4 Armatus Electric Blow Back was found to produce a healthy 375 fps at the muzzle using a .2g BB which gives this rifle enough range to connect with targets out to 180 feet away. Internally you will find Version 2 gearbox which features an aluminum air nozzle with internal o-ring for improved air seal and compression. Other features include steel gears running on 8mm metal bushings, a polycarbonate piston with ported piston head and a steel bearing spring guide. The spring guide is a quick change design which can be unlocked from the gearbox for easy removal of the spring without requiring the entire gearbox to be opened.

Please note that we found the battery which APS provided with the gun is relatively weak and we do recommend purchasing an aftermarket battery.
